A day to celebrate!

Weather -gloriously sunny all day and very warm
Miles - Jane 9.5 Sam 9.5 Total 13 (this may not seem right but we walked the first 6 together so can only count once -we are keeping to the rules!) - on schedule - hopefully will make 250 tomorrow!
Exam results -Sam passed his second year medicine exams -HURRAY!!!! All that hard work did pay off
Camera -lost camera returned in post from Whites in Wexford -hurray too -have updated past blogs to include new pics



Another night spent in Cork. Did take a while to negotiate our way out of the city even with sat nav. The plan was to walk 14 miles and arrive in Kinsale, The walk to start just outside Crosshaven. However as we driving in there was a perfect 10km walk (the old railway line) by the side of the beautiful estuary with wonderful yachts, boats, wading birds and great houses to distract us. So we walked this together, much nicer than walking on your own. Sam set the pace, so I had a good workout! Very picturesque as you can see from the pics above.
Walked into Kinsale after a very pleasant walk in the Cork countryside with rolling hills of  golden wheat and barley (Paul and Annie can guess what song I was singing, no wonder the cows gave me a funny look!). Very warm and Kinsale was very busy. Collected for about an hour when fatigue and hunger got the best of us and we settled on an early fish and chips supper,

Kinsale was having an art festival and all the kid shad made dogs!

Good drive back to Cork but we are both very weary and have just spent the evening catching up. A good day all in all, especially Sam's results.
